Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Wednesday that quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will go on Injured Reserve, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. "He needs to get healthy," Gannon said. Murray will be forced to miss at least four games, meaning that he won't be eligible to return until Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Dec. 7. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The two-time Pro Bowler didn't look good in his five starts before getting hurt, going 110-for-161 for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. Veteran Jacoby Brissett has elevated the offense in his three starts in place of Murray, and if he continues to play well, Murray may remain on the bench when he returns from IR.

Quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) and the Arizona Cardinals have consulted with multiple doctors on his mid-foot sprain and have been told that the timetables for recovery have been "anywhere from 4-8 weeks," sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. There is "an increased chance of a setback until it's properly healed," so Murray now "has more time to heal." Murray has been out since injuring his foot in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans, giving way to veteran Jacoby Brissett, who has actually been better for the Cardinals' offense in his three starts to this point. Murray may be active for the Week 10 game against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, but if he is, he'll be backing up Brissett. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Monday night's win over the Cowboys that Murray will be the team's starter at QB when he's healthy, but it's unclear exactly when that will be. Murray's hazy injury timeline basically gives the Cardinals more time to hold off on giving Murray the starting job back.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is expected to remain the team's starting quarterback when healthy despite the quality play of backup Jacoby Brissett, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Head coach Jonathan Gannon spoke following Arizona's 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, saying, "Nothing's changed" regarding Murray's status as the team's starting quarterback. Gannon had "nothing to add" when asked if Brissett has earned more playing time with how well he's operated the offense. Brissett has led the Cardinals to their three best offensive performances of the season, but Gannon is sticking with the former 2019 No. 1 overall pick despite some up-and-down play this season. Once fully recovered from the foot injury suffered in their Week 5 loss to the Titans, Murray should slide back in atop the depth chart, but plenty of questions will be asked as the week goes along.
Nov 4, 2025 1:15 AM EST
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is officially inactive for Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Murray came into Monday's game with a questionable tag, but the Cardinals were saying there was a chance he'd be active as the backup to veteran Jacoby Brissett. The 28-year-old has not practiced in full since suffering a mid-foot sprain back in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans, though, so they will err on the side of caution and keep him out for a third straight game coming out of their bye week. Murray will need to get in a full day of practice next week to be cleared to return in Week 10 versus the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. In addition to missing time with his foot injury, Murray has been a big fantasy disappointment, and he'll be a low-end QB1, at best, if he's able to return next week against a stout Seattle defense.
Nov 3, 2025 7:08 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot), who is listed as questionable for the Monday night game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, could be active, but in a backup role to veteran Jacoby Brissett, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero says that the people he's spoken to say that this "isn't some kind of benching" for the struggling Murray. "It's 1,000% about health," with Murray still recovering from a foot sprain that he suffered back in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Brissett, who has arguably looked better than Murray as a passer in his two starts, gets a favorable matchup against a porous Dallas defense and is certainly in play as a QB2 streamer in his third start of 2025. It remains to be seen if Murray will be able to make enough progress to play in a Week 10 divisional clash against the Seattle Seahawks.
Nov 2, 2025 12:27 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is officially listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Jonathan Gannon announced Saturday that Jacoby Brissett will start again at quarterback on Monday night and that Murray could have a role. What that role will be exactly is unclear, but Murray doesn't seem to be quite back to 100% as he works his way back from a sprained foot in Arizona's Week 5 loss to the Titans. The 28-year-old was limited in practice this week, and he'll aim to return in Week 10 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.
Nov 1, 2025 4:40 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is making progress from his foot sprain and could have a role on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys, but veteran backup Jacoby Brissett will make another start, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Murray has not started for the Cardinals since spraining his foot in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he's not ready to take over starting duties under center coming out of the team's Week 8 bye. Murray has been limited in practice so far this week. He may be active on Monday night, but in that scenario, he'd be serving as the emergency backup to Brissett. It's been another frustrating season for the 28-year-old signal-caller so far in 2025, and there's no guarantee he'll be ready to return for Week 10 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. Murray so far has 962 passing yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding 173 rushing yards and another score in only five games.
Nov 1, 2025 1:31 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Friday's practice, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Murray was limited in practice for the second straight day as he recovers from a foot injury that has already sidelined him for two games, but head coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday that the team is planning for him to start Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys. There have also been reports of Murray and backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett splitting reps with Arizona's primary pass catchers, so it is still uncertain as to who the Cardinals' signal caller will be in Dallas on Monday Night Football. Murray is familiar with playing at AT&T Stadium and would be set up with a pristine matchup if he were to make his return in Week 9, as the Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
Oct 31, 2025 6:46 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will likely return to action when the team faces the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Head coach Jonathan Gannon was recently asked if the team was preparing Murray to start this week, and he stated, "Yeah." Murray is a must-start if he suits up, as the Cowboys have allowed a league-high 2,069 yards and 20 touchdowns through the air. Continue to monitor injury reports, and if Murray is a late scratch, be prepared to pivot to Jacoby Brissett as a strong alternative.
Oct 30, 2025 2:06 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) missed his team's last two games before their Week 8 bye due to a mid-foot sprain. However, Murray is reportedly on track to return to the field for Arizona's Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Murray was having a down season before getting hurt. Across five games in 2025, the 28-year-old has recorded 961 passing yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. Still, Murray remains a threat with his legs (173 rushing yards, one touchdown) and gets a very favorable matchup on Monday night against Dallas. The Cowboys currently rank dead last in the NFL in passing yards (2,185) and passing touchdowns (20) allowed. If Murray can return against Dallas, he profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 in Week 9.
Oct 29, 2025 11:49 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) "got plenty of throws in with main pass-catchers" during practice on Tuesday, which is something that Arizona Sports' Tyler Drake points out that Murray has not done in recent weeks. Veteran backup Jacoby Brissett is "still getting his looks" as well, but Murray's workout at Tuesday's practice is a "sign things are headed in the right direction" for Murray. We'll be keeping a close eye on the 28-year-old's practice statuses this week, but right now, it's looking like he will have a chance to return following the bye week to face the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. Murray missed two games before the team's bye with a foot sprain. Although Murray has been pretty inconsistent as the team's starter when healthy, the Cardinals have made it clear that he is still the starter over Brissett. If Murray returns to a great matchup this weekend in Dallas, he'll be in play as a low-end QB1 option for fantasy managers.
Oct 28, 2025 3:41 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) has missed the last two games, but is expected to return for their Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Murray has struggled a bit in five games this season, averaging 192 passing yards per game to go with 35 rushing yards per game and a career low 6.0 yards per attempt. Veteran Jacoby Brissett filled in admirably in his place, but head coach Jonathan Gannon has made it clear that Murray is the team's starting quarterback when healthy. The 28-year-old gets a great spot in his return out of the bye week against a Dallas defense that just got torched by the Broncos for 44 points in Week 8. Murray should be the top quarterback add wherever he is available.
Oct 28, 2025 10:49 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon reiterated on Monday that quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will be the team's starting QB when he is healthy, but it's "too early to say" whether he'll be ready to return coming out of the bye to face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. A mid-foot sprain has kept Murray out of the Cardinals' last two games, and although backup Jacoby Brissett has played well in his two spot starts, the team isn't ready to bench the struggling Murray. The 28-year-old Murray gives the Cardinals' offense more options because of his rushing abilities, but he has mostly underwhelmed in his five starts in 2025, failing to go over 220 yards passing in any game while tossing only six touchdowns and three interceptions. Meanwhile, Brissett has thrown for 599 yards, four TDs, and one pick the last two weeks with Murray inactive.
Oct 20, 2025 7:49 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will be the team's starter when he is healthy enough to play, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. The Cardinals are 0-2 in Murray's absence under Jacoby Brissett, but they've played close games against two tough teams, sparking at least a little bit of quarterback discussion. Furthermore, during that two-week span, Brissett has completed 65 percent of his passes for 599 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, and one lost fumble. The Cardinals have a Week 8 bye, with a very real chance for Murray to return to the lineup in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys. If he's active for that game, Murray would be a low-end QB1 given Dallas' tendency to engage in high-scoring shootouts.
Oct 19, 2025 8:59 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but was widely expected to miss his second game in a row. Murray's loss will be felt, as he had amassed a respectable 962 passing yards, 173 rushing yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions through the first five weeks of the season. On Sunday, Jacoby Brissett will start in his place. Brissett impressed with 320 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception last Sunday against the Colts. He'll look to build on that momentum during a difficult matchup against the Packers.
Oct 19, 2025 4:25 PM EST
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot), who is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Packers, is in line to return for the Monday night meeting with the Cowboys on November 3, after the team's Week 8 bye. Murray appeared to have a chance to suit up in Week 7. However, the Cardinals will give him a few more weeks to heal. Assuming Murray is officially ruled out, Jacoby Brissett will be back under center after throwing for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and one pick off 27-for-44 passing in the loss to the Colts in Week 6. With a difficult matchup on the horizon versus a tough Packers defense, Brissett isn't the safest fantasy option in most formats. Still, with so many injuries at the position, he will have some value for those participating in Superflex setups.
Oct 18, 2025 9:57 PM EST
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Arizona Cardinals are "planning to start" Jacoby Brissett at quarterback in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, meaning quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will likely miss his second straight game due to a mid-foot sprain. Murray is officially listed as questionable, but Rapoport notes that Brissett was working with the starters during the open portion of the team's practice, while Murray threw to practice-squad wide receivers. Murray has mostly struggled across five games in 2025, completing 68.3% of his pass attempts for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. The 28-year-old still brings value as a rusher (173 rushing yards, one touchdown), but not quite enough to always overcome his inefficiencies as a passer. Brissett played well in Murray's absence in Week 6, throwing for over 300 yards against the Indianapolis Colts. Still, Brissett profiles as a low-end streaming option for fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats in a tougher Week 7 matchup against Green Bay.
Oct 18, 2025 2:32 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) has officially received a questionable status for their Week 7 matchup with the Green Bay Packers after a week of limited practices. Jacoby Brissett filled in admirably for Murray in Week 6 and even led the team to their most passing yards and touchdowns so far this season. Their Week 7 opponent, the Green Bay Packers, is currently ranked fifth in overall defensive numbers and 11th against the pass. So, if Murray does end up playing at less than 100% healthy, it doesn't seem like an ideal start for fantasy managers. The last time the two teams met last season, Murray led the offense to just 13 points in a lopsided 34-13 loss. With that being said, if he does play, he remains in the QB2 conversation.
Oct 18, 2025 10:44 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Murray is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a foot sprain. He was limited in all three practice sessions this week. The Cardinals are likely going to wait and see how he feels closer to game-time before they make a final decision. Jacoby Brissett could be asked to make his second straight start this weekend. He completed 27-of-44 passing attempts for 320 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts. There could be some low-end streaming value here if Brissett is asked to make another start.
Oct 17, 2025 6:21 PM EST
When asked about whether Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) remains the team's starter, Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort said, "We're going to continue to try and get Kyler where he can get back to doing the things he can do on the field. When he's doing that, he'll be out there." Murray missed Week 6 due to a foot injury and is in danger of missing his team's Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. While Ossenfort implied that Murray will take the field once healthy, he didn't exactly provide a ringing endorsement of his 28-year-old quarterback. Murray has had an up-and-down season, completing 68.3% of his pass attempts for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions across five games. With Murray sidelined in Week 6, veteran Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett threw for 320 yards and nearly led the team to an upset victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Regardless of Murray's health status, it appears the team is at least exploring all of its options under center.
